Help with iCloud/syncing emails

Hi
I may be missing something really obvious here as I like to think I'm pretty good with technology and have been Mac based for the last 8 odd years so I'm used to the Apple setup etc. However, I'm having some difficulties getting things syncing across devices and wondered if anyone knew how to resolve this.
I have several different email addresses I use, my personal one and my work one, plus the standard icloud one you get when you create an icloud account. My personal email address is from my own domain name so is set up as an 'other' type of email account, my work email is Exchange Server type.
Across my iPhone, iPad, Mac and iCloud on the web the Exchange email address syncs perfectly. I can send/receive email from this account and if I delete a message/read a message/move a message to another folder etc it syncs automatically across all devices. With my own personal email, although I can read/delete/send emails from any device, they don't sync, in that I may read all my emails on my iPhone and then have to go through them again on my Mac and my iPad separately.
Also, when I log into iCloud on the web, the only emails visable are from my iCloud email address and this is all I can send emails from as well.
My personal email address is the one my Apple ID is set with.
Is anyone able to shed any light on this for me please as its extremely frustrating to have to keep going through my emails 3 times each day, and even more frustrating that my work email which is Microsoft based works better than my Apple Mail account!!
Many thanks
Jo

Thanks for that nunomonterio, I shall get this set up now to try it out.
In the meantime though can I just check a couple of things....
That means I can only redirect one domain I assume, so it uses relevant smtp server (I have a couple of different domains).
Also, surely that mean that when I respond to my emails forwarded from my own domain to the icloud account they will be sent with my icloud email address or can I set them to display the from address of the relevant domain they were originally sent to?
Thanks again for all your help.

  • Need help with icloud sync

    So I upgraded everything today and moved my mobile me account to icloud. Problem is when I set everything up with my @me email to move all my mobile me accounts it defautled my ipad to @me in itunes, so when i went to set up the sync there was nothing in the store. My itunes account pre-dates mobile me so it is a different name. Now my ipad is locked out of my itunes for 90 days and i cannont access any of my purchases? Is there anything I can do other than wait 3 months or am I out of luck?

  • Help with iCloud syncing, help with iCloud syncing

    I've installed iCloud, but my e-mails and/or calender entries are not syncing to my iPad and/or my MacBook Pro.
    What should I do?

    Make sure under the icloud you have all the items you want to sync on on instead of off. This is the only thing I can think of.

    Thank you so very much

    Same thing happened to me. My son's iPod touch suddenly started indicating that my "username or PW had changed" or was "incorrect" so I paid Apple $30 to find out that all that was required was updating the software by plugging his iPod into my computer & syncing with iTunes. My problem was then solved.

  • Hi guys, need your help with iCloud notes on Mac 10.7.5; I've found this feature's more useful comparing with stickers, however can't pin notes to desktop or dock, "double click"on the note doesn't work with this version of software.

  • Is there an issue with iCloud syncing on iWork apps?

    I thought everything was ok with iCloud syncing but I seem to now have issues.
    I created a spreadsheet under Pages on my iPad (3rd Gen) and, after pressing the 'spreadsheet' button to show thumbnails of all docs being worked on, I'm seeing a small arrow pointing upwards on the thumbnail.  Before, I used to see a progress bar updating in the thumbnail (which I presume is updating to iCloud). 
    Now? Nothing.  The arrow stays and nothing is updated on my iPhone 4.   In fact, a previous version of my spreadsheet is shown on my iPhone with the same upwards pointing arrow but with the whole thumbnail 'greyed out'.  I can't even open it on the iPhone to delete it!
    Is this a know issue and are there any fixes?  I've tried the usual turning iCloud off and on for both devices but this has not had any effect.

    This is ridiculous!
    I have now established that there are issues with Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents!!!  They surely cannot all be corrupted?
    I have managed to salvage an important Numbers Document which I have copied in to iTunes (and subsequently on to my external HD).
    To try and rectify the situation I have then turned off iCloud on all 3 apps on both my iPhone 4 and iPad and deleted all documents under each app.  I have then gone on to iWork under iCloud and deleted all documents off there (some of which I noted were not the up-to-date documents I had been working on in iOS).  I had to turn off iCloud regardless to delete a couple of the documents on my iPhone (under all 3 apps) as some documents were greyed out (see original post) and could not be deleted.  As soon as iCloud was disabled it enabled me to remove off the local device. 
    Having switched iCloud back on to my iPhone and iPad (and bearing in mind I had deleted all documents off both iOS devices and in iCloud) the greyed out thumbnails re-appear (and cannot be deleted or altered!!!!)
    Anybody? Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

  • Need help with contact syncing using iCloud.  How do I do it?

    I deleted LOTS of contacts on my iphone which syncs with icloud but now I want to sync my ipad using the icloud and do not want to have my ipad to override the corrected contact list.  How do I do that?
    Thanks. Pat

    I did a back up as I too am paranoid.  I am wondering if there is a way to wipe my contacts from my iPad and then do the merge? 
    When I was deleting all the contacts from my iPhone I thought it was best to turn off icloud on my iPad.  In hindsight I think that was incorrect. 
    Thanks both of you for responding thus far.

  • Help with deleting junk email

    Can anyone please help with a problem I'm having with icloud email. I have a number (not all) of messages in junk mail and no matter what I do I can't seem to delete them. I delete them, they are gone, but when I come back they are back again but any other messages I might have deleted at the same time are deleted.

    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Mail then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your Mail.

  • Issue with iCloud.. email address and responding

    Hi Everyone,
    Not sure why this is happening but I have encountered some recent issues with iCloud. A little history I restored my iphone 4s and have reinstalled and reset all my accounts, apps, and services. All was working well until this last week.
    1) Before (restoring my phone), I was able to reply to any email (icloud or other) on my phone AND select which ever 'from account' I had available, INCLUDING the icloud alaises. Now when I reply through the phone I do not get access to those alaises for some reason.
    2) Through the browser (Safari or Chrome), I can not reply to emails in iCloud. It crashes. I can however forward, but once I hit reply it generates an error.
    iCloud has also somehow merged my emails addresses into mail but again disregarding the alaises created. I don't sync my MacBook Mail with iCloud Mail documents (Thank God), but I do sync Calendars, and Contacts. (Btw it would be nice to select which Contact groups to sync with as on iTunes)
    Not sure what is going on but it has become quite annoying especially when it was working just fine about 2-3 weeks ago.
    Any ideas/solutions?
    Thanks

    Try going back to http://appleid.apple.com and changing the ID back to the original address. If you can get this accepted, then go to the iCloud preferences/settings pane, stop 'Find My ....', and then sign out. Do the same on any other devices or computers.
    Then go back to http://appleid.apple.com and change the ID to the new one. Sign in with that on all your devices.
    However as the address which forms the original ID is now not working it can't be validated and it's possible that you won't be able to revert to it. In this situation only Support can help you.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • Can anyone help with icloud and apple accounts getting mixed up on 2 phones?

    Basically husband upgraded from 4s to 5c. Gave dad 4s. I tried to set his dad up with icloud and apple id but didn't realise husbands old sim card was in 4s. Now neither phone works and husband very annoyed his apple id and password don't work anymore. Please help!!!

    Hi Chris
    So husband got new phone. Was all set up and up and running when we left the shop
    Gave dad the old phone. It was locked to Vodafone so we had to ask them to unlock. He then got his three sim cut down to fit.
    Weeks after husband had his 5c we went to dads to set his 4s up. I upgraded it to latest software iOS something. Anyway didn't realise it was husbands old sim still in phone.
    After upgrade it asked me to set up apple account (I think) could have been icloud. Anyway I started setting it up with dads email and password choice. Husband then saw message on his 5c saying his dads email was being added to something on his phone.
    At this point I left alone but now when husband tries to use his apple id for apps etc it says invalid user id or password. It's as though the 2 have got mixed up. Bit it won't let him reset his password?
    Does this make sense?

  • Need help with CONTACT sync example

    I have been trying to work with the Sync example that utilizes the MEREP_CONTACT_* BAPI wrappers.  Is there anyone who has been able to get this example to work that could give more information on it?  I can create the programs, but cannot get data to it.  Which SyncType is it supposed to use?  What directory do you create the data from MEREP_SAP_EXM002_DATA_GEN1?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    [email protected]

    hello brian,
    i created the contactaddress test application and used these BAPIs on the backend mapped to syncBos SAP_EXM001 and SAP_EXM002. the basic requirement for this is to deploy your application together with the xml metadata.
    after your application is installed in the ME, the framework will automatically send a data download request for syncBos SAP_EXM001 and SAP_EXM002 on the next synchronization. Prior to this, the application tables in the backend like the MEREP_PERSON which is mapped to the syncbo SAP_EXM002 should be filled with data.
    use MEREP_SAP_EXM002_DATA_GEN2 and MEREP_SAP_EXM001_DATA_GEN1 to fill-up the tables with data.
    you should have at least a data viewer for the corresponding syncbo data on your application.
    hope this helps.
    regards
    jo

  • Help! iCloud synced notes disappeared!

    Hi,
    I am hoping that someone can help and knows if there is a way to recover my iCloud synced notes which disappeared yesterday afternoon. A bit of history first:
    I am running 10.7.2 on my Mac and iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. Prior to activating iCloud a few weeks ago, I was syncing my Notes across my Mac, iPhone and iPad via iTunes and everything worked great.
    Once I upgraded to iOS 5 and activated iCloud, I selected the option in iTunes to sync my Notes via iCloud. This created two sets of notes on each device; the iPhone Notes app had two accounts, iPhone and iCloud; the iPad Notes app had two accounts, iPad and iCloud; and the Mac Mail app had two accounts in the Notes section, On My Mac and iCloud.
    I realized that only the Notes created in the iCloud account of the respective devices would sync via iCloud. Following advice I had read here on the Apple Support Communities, I set the iCloud Notes account as the default account for both my iPhone and iPad, and moved the Notes in the Mail app on my Mac from the "On My Mac" account to the "iCloud" account. I did this a couple of weeks ago and everything had been working great; I now only had one Notes account on both my iPhone and iPad, and everything was syncing as one would expect between my iPhone, iPad and Mac.
    At least everything was working great until yesterday afternoon; I opened the Notes app on my iPhone and was startled to find the app read "No Notes". I next opened the Notes app on my iPad and actually saw all of my Notes for half a second before they all disappeared and then it too read "No Notes"! I next opened the Mail app on my Mac and also had no Notes. Finally, I logged into iCloud.com and opened up the Mail app to also find that I had no Notes.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Why would this have happened? I had initially backed up all of the Notes when I first made the switch to iCloud a couple of weeks ago, expecting some initial trouble with the first sync. But everything has been running smoothly for about 2 weeks, I hadn't made a backup since. Isn't iCloud supposed to be my backup? Does iCloud make a backup of itself that I can access to get all of my Notes back from yesterday morning? I am also Syncing my Calendar and Contacts via iCloud, but if this could happen to my Notes, I am afraid that it could also happen to my Calendar and Contacts.
    I realize that many, if not most, of software errors are actually attributable to user error, but in this case, I do not see what I possibly could have done wrong. I don't think it's even possible to delete all of the Notes from my iPhone with one click, is it?
    If there is no way to recover from a loss like this, the iCloud service is worthless. Hopefully there is a way for users to access an iCloud backup/snapshot of thier data so that losses like this can be prevented.
    I do make nightly backups of my Mac via SuperDuper to an external HD, so I should have backups of my Mac's Mail app, as well as iTunes generated backups of my iPhone and iPad from when all of my notes were on iCloud. I was thinking of loading these backups while I was offline and recovering my Notes that way, but I do not know if iCloud data is available locally while offline. Does anyone know if iCloud Notes can be accessed on your Mac, iPhone or iPad if the device is offline?
    Any info/insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bruno

    I got a little carried away in my post… I found a solution, but I still lost a few very important notes.
    I talked to Apple about 30 minutes. It seems the problem comes from updating the content of my iPhone and synching it using the cable…
    Fortunately, I managed to rescue older notes by running Time Machine in Mail.app. An older version of my iCloud notes were saved there. I copied and pasted them.
    For the future, I will regularly make a copy of my notes in a local folder in Mail.app.
    Don’t just rely on iCloud assuming it is a perfect way to save your data…

  • Help with iCloud, Snow Leopard

    I have a new hard drive on our Mac which has Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. I previously transferred everything from MobileMe to iCloud, but now that I have a new hard drive on my Mac it cannot sync up with MobileMe or iCloud. How do I sync everything?

    You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access an existing iCloud account's email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation with Snow Leopard and iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
    BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
    (I have no connection with either firm.)

  • I need help with iCloud and restoring

    I have an app and in order to transfer the account of the app, it says: "If you still have your old device, please sync/back up your account to either iTunes or iCloud. Next, sync your new device with either iTunes or iCloud and restore data."
    I have no idea what to do with iCloud. I have my old iPhone 5 and I would like to transfer my account to my iPhone 5c. I don't have an iTunes setup for either of these devices. I just recently backed up all my pictures and videos and data into iCloud on my iPhone 5c. I have two different iCloud accounts, one for my iPhone 5 and one for my iPhone 5c. If I were to sync my old device and restore the data onto my new device, will it restore ALL the data? Will it delete any data from my old device or my new device? Can i just restore the data for one app? If possible, how?
    The thing is that I dont need or want any data from my old device or than the account/data from that one app onto my new iPhone 5c.
    Also, my iPhone 5c has the latest iOS. But my iPhone 5 still doesn't even have iOS 7, will this affect anything? Should I update it to iOS 7.0.3?

    follow instructions here.
